You will quickly become a trusted resource on security frameworks while helping NFA navigate an increasingly complex cybersecurity and technology landscape, including adoption of artificial intelligence.

- Collaborate with various departments and stakeholders to identify compliance gaps, evaluate risk, and support remediation activities.
- Help lead internal and external audits and prepare compliance materials for regulatory reporting and information requests, including those related to CFTC submissions.
- Monitor changes to applicable laws, regulations, frameworks and industry best practices to recommend appropriate updates to NFA's compliance program.
- Prepare compliance documentation, risk assessments, metrics, and reports for management, regulatory agencies, and other stakeholders.
- Assess governance, risk, compliance, and control considerations associated with emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence and support the development of appropriate policies, and oversight practices.
- Maintain professional knowledge through continuous education, industry engagement, and awareness of evolving cybersecurity, compliance, privacy, and AI governance practices.

We're seeking a collaborative and intellectually curious professional who combines strong compliance expertise with business judgement. The successful candidate will be comfortable working independently and communicating with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. A commitment to continuous learning, attention to detail, and the ability to translate complex regulatory requirements into practical solutions will be critical to success in this role. Additional requirements and experience include:
- Bachelor's degree in Information Security, Cybersecurity, Risk Management, or related field.

Tips for Your Risk Manager Job Search
Quantify risk outcomes on your resume
Hiring managers want to see impact, not duties. Replace vague statements with outcomes you drove: percentage reductions in exposure, dollar amounts of losses mitigated, or audit findings you closed. Risk managers who quantify results move faster through screening.
Lead with your risk framework fluency
Many postings screen for specific frameworks, COSO, ISO 31000, or Basel III depending on the industry. Make sure your resume names the frameworks you've worked within and in which contexts, not just generic risk management experience.
Target openings that match your industry vertical
Risk management skills transfer, but employers in financial services, healthcare, and energy each hire for different regulatory environments. Tailor your application to show you understand the specific risks of their sector, not just the discipline broadly.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists risk manager openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare for a case-based interview round
Risk manager interviews frequently include a scenario exercise where you walk through how you'd identify, assess, and respond to a hypothetical exposure. Practice articulating your decision process out loud, not just your conclusion, so interviewers can follow your reasoning.
Negotiate using scope, not just title
When you receive an offer, ask about portfolio size, reporting lines, and regulatory scope before accepting or countering. A senior risk manager role with a narrow mandate may offer less career leverage than a mid-level role with broad enterprise exposure.
Risk Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most risk managers?
The companies hiring the most risk managers right now include Amazon, CVS Health, and Ryder System, with the largest share of openings in California, Texas, and New York, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Financial services firms and large hospital systems consistently account for a significant portion of total demand.
How many risk manager jobs are remote?
About 22% of risk manager openings are fully remote or hybrid as of June 2026, though this varies considerably by industry and seniority. Enterprise risk and operational risk roles at technology companies and insurance carriers tend to offer the most remote flexibility, while roles tied to physical operations or on-site regulatory oversight are typically in-person.
How do you become a risk manager?
Most risk managers start in a related analytical role, such as financial analyst, internal auditor, or compliance associate, and build toward risk-specific responsibilities over time. Earning a professional certification like the FRM or CRISC strengthens your candidacy. Developing experience with a recognized risk framework and learning a GRC platform used in your target industry makes the transition more direct.
Can you get hired as a risk manager with little experience?
Entry-level risk manager roles do exist, particularly at larger financial institutions and insurance companies that run formal risk analyst programs. Candidates with strong quantitative skills, a relevant internship, or a background in audit or compliance have the clearest path in. Earning an entry-level certification and applying to analyst-titled risk roles is a practical way to build the experience employers require at the manager level.
What does the risk manager interview process look like?
The process typically starts with a recruiter or HR screen, followed by a technical interview focused on your knowledge of risk frameworks, regulatory requirements, and tools. A second round often includes a scenario or case exercise where you walk through how you'd handle a specific risk event. Final rounds usually involve conversations with senior leadership or the risk committee to assess cultural and strategic fit.
